Nicely paced and well-written but I could not muster one ounce of care for any of the characters.

Really started to drag near the end. I waffled between a 4 and a 3 star rating. In truth, this is a perfect example of a 3.5 read. I really think the author is talented, though, and I'd like to read more of her work. This book was ambitious, but at times it was just too crammed. I truly did not care at all about the Edgar/Glory storyline and felt that was the novel's major weakness for how under-developed it was.

Some interesting things in this book, but also some infuriating things, especially as a parent. Also, I'm at the point in my life/family/marriage where marital infidelity really bothers me. I just kind of feel like saying, "Really?!? Still can't control those urges you've been experiencing since teenager-hood? I thought we were grownups?!?".

It was a quick read despite the majority of the characters (except for the children) being wholly unlikeable. They whole story had a lot of details but lacked any depth, perhaps the characters were just meant to be that vapid.
